Let's work together to achieve equity across our education system and its classrooms.
The Challenge
With the Alice Springs (Mpartnwe) Education Declaration our education system embraces a bold vision:
Our vision is for a world class education system that encourages and supports every student to be the very best they can be, no matter where they live or what kind of challenges they may face.
However, evidence and experience suggest this is far from being realised.
Who we are & how we work
The Education Equity Alliance is a Victorian-based not-for-profit organisation with DGR-1 led by experienced teachers and school leaders. We formally commenced operations in July 2024 following 18 months of volunteer-based work. ​
Our Vision
An education system where students achieve equity of outcomes no matter their background or circumstances.​​
Our Mission
To empower students and teachers from low-SES school communities
to be partners in system-change for education equity.
Our Theory of Change
Activities
If we empower students and teachers through systems thinking
And then we enable collaboration & action
And then we spread this learning to catalyse system-wide change
THEN this will result in the education system working more collaboratively and coherently to drive meaningful improvements in education equity (including improved learning, wellbeing & engagement outcomes)
Capacity-building workshops with students and teachers and undertaking shared systems-mapping drawing upon their lived experience and the wider evidence-base.
School Network
Convening a School Network of Victorian low-SES schools to focus on what matters most for improvement in low-SES contexts AND collaborating on change at both the school and system level
Collective Impact ('The Collective')
Building a coalition of organisations to shift systemic barriers to education equity in low-SES communities and enabling collective learning, action and advocacy
Knowledge Sharing
(ie. Forums, Annual Gathering)
Advocacy
(ie. Advocacy Platform, Roundtables)
